Firefox auto updates not working as intended
Hello,
We have a vulnerability scanner in our environment that tells us when Firefox needs to be updated. We found that in order to update it, we need to go the settings tab and then to the updates portion of the menu to initiate the update. After this we are asked to restart. Any way to avoid this entire process?

If the user is regular using Firefox, it will autoupdate and notify them to restart.
On Windows, there is a background updater that will update Firefox when it is not opened.
What platform are you on?
Hello Mike
SysAdm from some larger financial institution here...
Ideally the update function for Enterprise users should be fully automatic without any user interaction.
What then may be needed in some situations is to disable updates - but that could be done just by disabling the service.

On Windows, Firefox does support this using the background updater.
